Living Room finishing touches!
Oh my goodness… so much has changed since my Living Room Reveal. I ditched the pink in the living room since I got my dose of pink decor in my craft room!
Here’s how it looked in progress…
I decided to go with a gallery wall over my sofa. I ditched the wal-mart floor lamp (blah!) and added two thrift store lamps that I sprayed a pretty yellow. I was excited to get the lamps for $7 each (including the shades!) Sc-ore!
I then moved my framed photo of the Mesa Arizona Temple into my hallway and made some Ballard Designs/House of Smith’s inspired shelves for the corner wall.
Then… I ended up here…
I tossed around the idea of a slip cover or reupholstery but deep down…. I just wanted a new couch! I couldn’t see past the eye sore.. 🙁
(Ps I still gotta paint that right side end table! Found it on the side of the road so it needs a little paint job!)
I started shopping around for a new sofa but didn’t get too excited bc the hubby wasn’t completely on board… He knew how badly I wanted a new one. I finally found one I really liked and showed the hubby. The response I got was… “ya babe, that’s nice.” Then he went to school. I texted him and said “Couch?” and I got a text back a few minutes later that said “Sure baby!” So I ran out and bought it!!! HOORAYYYYY!!!!!!!! A couple days later, she arrived!
I sold my old couch on Craigslist about 2 hours before my new one arrived!
I unwrapped her and screwed on the legs! One side of the pillows that were included matched the fabric of the sofa but the other side was not really my style. I plan on recovering the pillows but for now, the polka dotty fabric faces the back!
I wanna get this rug but I’m still working on the “okay” from my sweet hubs! Maybe for Christmas! 😉
and I really want these pillows! haha!
Oh man… I’m gonna be honest… I am really loving how it is coming together.
To do:
Rug
Hem curtains
Paint end table
Accessorize shelves
Make more pillows!
And just for fun….
A few weeks ago…

What do ya’ll think!?
**Update: I GOT MY RUG! I’ve done a few little switcheroos in this room so I’ll have to do a new post to show you some fun changes! Here’s where we’re at now!

It looks SO much better! I love the color scheme and ESPECIALLY the wall behind the TV!1 So so pretty. I can’t wait to move into our next house (boo.. 1.5-2 years..) so I can go crazy with re-decorating! P.S. Great couch too!!! 🙂

You and your hubby sound just like me and my hubby! We go through that same cycle of me being excited, him not being on board, but saying okay anyway! I LOVE your room! The wall is awesome! And I love the rug! Mind sharing where you found it? I think it might look pretty good in my living room 🙂
LOVE love LOVE this! It looks amazing! I really really want a new couch too; can you get your hubs to call mine and tell him it’s ok? 🙂 I would be thrilled for you to share this at my party:

How did you do (or what is it) the “PIC” hanging next to the Temple pic? it almost looks like addresses but it looks amazing! I can’t wait to re-do our living room again but I think I’ll wait until this winter so I can decorate it/arrange it all around pics of our sealing in the new KC Temple!
Looks great! I really love the colors you chose. The striped wall is pretty awesome too. Sarah
